Common Brake Problems
While you may not know right away if your brakes need servicing, your vehicle will let you know. If you happen to see any of these warning signs while driving, make sure you schedule an appointment right away! Ignoring these issues could lead to further issues, more extensive repairs, and hazardous driving.
Brake Light: If you spot your brake light illuminated on your dashboard, it’s a telltale sign there is an issue with your brakes. While it may just mean your vehicle is ready for an inspection, it could also be a sign of a serious problem.
Strange Noises: Are you hearing a metallic squealing, squeaking, or grinding sound when you come to a stop? This may be your vehicle letting you know your brake pads are worn down. When the pads of your brakes begin to thin, the brake pad wear indicators will make contact with the rotor, resulting in an annoying sound when coming to a halt.
To avoid problems with your rotors and ensure your brakes function properly, make an appointment for replacement brake pads as soon as possible.
Vibrations: If your wheel is shaking or there is excessive vibration when you stop, you may have an uneven rotor. These important brake components are large disks that sit inside your wheels. When you try and stop, the pads hug the rotors, allowing the wheels to slow down. If your rotors are uneven, they won’t be able to do their job correctly.
Brake Leaks: Is the brake pedal soft when you press down on it? A leak may be the culprit. Fluid leaks from the master cylinder are a common brake problem. When they occur, the right amount of power can’t make it through the system. Repairing the leak is crucial for safe stopping.
Burning Smell: When your brakes overheat, a burning smell can occur. This typically happens while repeatedly braking on steep inclines and can cause serious damage to your braking system. If you smell a strong chemical odor while braking, pull over to the side of the road and allow the brakes to cool down. Then, call our service center, so you won’t risk overheating your brakes again.
